Zojirushi Stainless Steel Mug

16-Ounce, Lavender/Pink

A stainless mug is a vacuum insulated mug that is designed to drink directly from the mug. Although similar to travel mugs, it offers better heat retention because of its tight fitting lid, and can be stored in a bag or purse without spilling.

How does it keep beverages hot?

The air between two thin layers of stainless steel that make up the body of the mug is removed to create a vacuum. Because there is no air, the temperature on the other side of the wall does not transfer over, keeping

beverages hot or cold for hours.

The Story About Zojirushi

Zojirushi (pronounced ‘zoh-jee-ROO-shee’) began in Japan in 1918 as a manufacturer of hand-blown glass vacuum bottles. Today, Zojirushi’s product line extends to high-end small appliances such as rice cookers, bread makers and coffee makers, high quality vacuum insulated products like vacuum bottles, lunch jars and carafes, and commercial restaurant and coffee equipment. In the past few years, Zojirushi has enhanced the focus on design and how appliances fit into everyday lives with the introduction of a variety of new products. The name Zojirushi means 'Elephant brand' in Japanese.

Product Description

Zojirushi SlickSteel Finish Stainless Steel Mug

SM-KHE 36/48

Zojirushi's stainless steel vacuum insulation mug will keep your beverages hot or cold for 6 hours. The compact design takes minimal space and fits in all standard cup holders while maximizing capacity. The flip lid is designed to open with a single hand. The flip lid is tightly fitted for excellent heat retention and features a safety lock to prevent accidental opening. These mugs have a stainless steel interior with SlickSteel finish. Utilizing electro-polishing technology, these products are non-coated on the inside and instead use an electrically charged polishing process to treat and finish the interior. The result is a corrosion resistant surface that repels foreign substances and stains, creating a smooth and ultra-clean stainless steel environment for your drinks.

How does it keep beverages hot or cold?

With Zojirushi's renowned vacuum insulation technology, air between the two thin layers of stainless steel on the outer container is removed, creating a vacuum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps bevs hot, and doesnt leak... I cant find anything wrong with this thermos!
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2013
Volume Capacity Name: 16.0 ouncesColor: Champagne GoldVerified Purchase
The media could not be loaded.
 This is literally the best thermos I have ever owned!

Temperature: I poured hot tea in it and was so busy I didnt drink it at school all day. So on my way home (10 hours later) I decided I didnt want to waste good tea and took a swig. OMG NOT A GOOD IDEA. It was still too hot for me! Even though I regretted that for a few seconds I was really surprised and impressed by this. Just for fun one time I tested it by pouring boiling water in it then 2 min later putting the cap on. I then checked the temp 18 hours later. Still hot. STILL HOT. Not warm. HOT. I do live in a warmer area so the coldest environmental temp was probably like 68-70F. With a vacuum seal that shouldnt matter but its worth mentioning.

Cleaning: so easy! It comes apart and you can just wash and dry everything really well. Then reassemble in a few seconds. I even accidentally left milk and coffee go a little stinky in here once and after a regular wash there was no smell at all. That only happened one time but I was really happy about the lack of reminders of my mistake.

Use: I have definitely locked this and just tossed it into my bag before. Its very secure and I have had 0 spills in 6 months of use. Also I like that when you tilt it to drink you dont get a Niagara Falls size gush of liquid onto your face.

VIDEO: b/c I was confused about the parts so I thought others could use the help.

UPDATE February 2015 (posted as a comment but moved here for visibility): Original video poster here! Glad some of you found my video helpful! I couldn't tell what the parts were and I thought this thermos was awesome and deserved a review so thats why I made it.

Anyhow, I have had this same thermos for 1.5 years now and its still going strong. Ive taken it on lots of plane trips, shoved it in various luggages/bins to travel, really abused it as far as a thermos goes. But thats why I bought it! Still keeps my drinks unfailingly hot/cold, doesn't leak, looks great, and is still basically awesome. I even bought a couple more thermoses for family members and they are having the same success. Its worth the up front investment for this one. It does seem like a lot when you have $5-10 choices at supermarkets.

I bought a bottle brush to clean it (OXO good grips bottle brush from supermarket) and it works perfectly. I don't take the whole thing apart every time- just give the parts a soapy soak/wash every few times then air dry and reassemble.

1/2023: still going strong. Use weekly or so now, I don’t think this will ever die?

Logical Paradox
5.0 out of 5 stars Best Mug Ever! Period!
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2013
Volume Capacity Name: 12.0 ouncesColor: Smoky BlueVerified Purchase
This is a real vacuum flask. I've used a real-deal vacuum flask for my morning coffer for years now and there's no going back. The "themal" cups you get in super markets don't keep your beverage hot... a true vacuum flask will! I bring this everywhere with me, and panic when I don't have it. I call it my "battery pack". I'm a coffee addict, what can I say?

Up until now, I've used the ones made by Thermos (the "Nissan" model and more recently, the newer models with the white tops like the NS402 series). They set the standard in the market. I loved my Thermoses, but they kept breaking on me. I was going through a couple a year. They also only come in the 16 ounce size. I decided to try this Zojirushi as an alternative and because they come in both 16 ounce and this 12 ounce version. I love it!

The thermal properties are great! This will still keep my coffee scary hot for hours and hours. The stats: 203 degree F water left in a room temp environment will still be 147 F after 6 hours. That's without the lid being opened at all, so real-world performance varies a bit, but this is still excellent performance for keeping coffee or tea hot. You can see the full details and specs on Zojirushi's website: [...]. They are much more transparent than Thermos. Thermos gives you a very vague "keeps hot/cold for X hours" spec, but only tells you what they mean by that (the actual performance metrics) on a sheet that comes in the box rather than anywhere you could find that info on their site or in their product description pages on Amazon. To be honest, the Thermos models do have technically better heat/cold retention on paper, but we are talking very marginal differences that don't matter much in the real world. Put boiling water in this mug, come back to it 4 hours later and it is still hot enough to scald you. If you need better than that, then Thermos makes some even heavier duty models, but they aren't designed to be sipped from.

Like the Thermos models I had, this is a flip-and-sip design. The lid flips open with the push of a button and makes for easy sipping. This action minimizes the air exposure (ie heat loss) when you take a sip as opposed to the kind where you have to actually remove the whole lid to get at your drink. The Zojirushi lid, however, is much better-designed than the Thermos mugs.The sip hole is better shaped and sized for a smoother pour and smoother sip. It also feels more durable, opens more smoothly, and easily comes apart for easy cleaning, including all the rubber pieces (very nice). Much better than the Thermos offerings. The lid has a locking mechanism in the way of slick switch that slides side to side, locking the lid so that it doesn't flip open accidentally. The Thermos mugs only have a metal clip that swings over to latch the lid in place (and which can easily come loose and be not so easy to disengage when you are in a rush.

I love that the Zojirushi mugs come in both 16 ounce and 12 ounce. I got the 12 ounce for two reasons. First, to encourage me to drink less coffee (I drink 1-2 cups per day, so that's 12-24 ounces a day as opposed to 16-32 ounces a day). Second, because even though the 16 ounce Zojirushi has better thermal specs, that is simply due to the added mass of the liquid in the mug (more mass, equals more thermal inertia). If you don't fill your 16 ounce mug all the way up, it will loose heat faster because there's more air in contact with the liquid. You get better real-world performance with a smaller mug, drank more quickly, than with a bigger mug where that last half is getting 8 ounces of fresh air mixed into it with every sip. Yes, I've put a lot of thought into this. This also probably (partially) explains the better on-paper performance metrics of the Thermos mugs (they only have 16 ounce). OK, enough thermodynamics.

Another thing I love about the Zojirushi is options: not only can you get multiple sizes, but there are two version of this model mug, one with a "non stick coating" that is supposed to minimize clean up (KB), and this model here that does not have the non-stick coating and instead has a highly polished stainless ("Slick Steel") interior (KHE). Now, I don't know what the nonstick coating actually is, but I try to avoid anything with PTFE (Teflon) and generally try to avoid substances I don't know and trust in things I eat/drink out of. So, I chose this KHE model because I trust plain old stainless steel much more and don't feel like I need a nonstick coating in my drink bottle.

I'm glad Zojirushi gives us the choice, although it does make picking out a drink bottle a little more confusing to the consumer. I advise you check out their website to find the model that best suits your needs, they have a very nice comparison feature! Aside from this model/style mug, they have a variety of other designs. Some have built in tea-strainers and other cool features if you are interested.

Conclusion: expensive mug, but worth every penny. This is, I am convinced, the best coffee-drinking apparatus on the market. I'm super-happy with my purchase and I plan to get a second (backup) mug, maybe a larger one for the occasions where I do need it.

I bought this to replace my Contigo which I left on a plane. First when it came it looked too narrow, but kept liquids warm. Now that I have used it it's wayyy better! First because of its narrow profile you can easily fit in bags and easy to travel with. Second clean up is super easy and not as complicated as Contigo. Parts came off and you just wash them. Only downside is not dishwasher safe so hand wash.

I absolutely love this hot cup.
I have tried several others, some more expensive than this one but they all leak.
I can’t recommend this travel mug highly enough.
It is beautiful quality, well designed, never leaks and keeps your coffee hot for over 8 hours.
As a walker, I carry it in a back pack and don’t treat it very kindly and it often falls over in my bag.
No leaks at all.
What a success!

This stays warm for a long time and does not leak. The quality is very high-much better than the cheap copies and I highly recommend it over any of the cheap copies. It is the best.
